Samoa Martini Recipe

MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2013

OK, I realize that an entry about booze seems out of place in my blog section where I focus on food for a better lifestyle. But one thing I firmly believe in, is to INDULGE as well. Everything in moderation; it's not like I'm saying to consume chocolate syrup and vodka for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

I stumbled across this recipe from G+; it popped up in my feed, and coincidently, my boyfriend had recently brought home a bunch of Girl Scout cookies, which included Samoas in the mix. I felt like it was my destiny to make this video and blog entry.

~RECIPE~

Ingredients:

Cocktail:

- 2 oz Chocolate Liqueur

- 1 1/2 oz Caramel Vodka

- 1 1/2 oz Malibu Rum (I used coconut vodka in the video, because I didn't want to mix vodka and rum)

- 1 oz Half and Half

Glass Garnishes:

- Chocolate Syrup

- Shredded Coconut (I also toasted the coconut)

- 1 Samoa Girl Scout cookie

- Caramel Syrup

Procedure:

- Put some chocolate syrup on a plate.

- Twist the edge of the glass into the syrup coating the entire rim.

- Then sprinkle coconut onto the glass into the syrup.

- In a chilled cocktail shaker, combine all of the drink ingredients and then shake vigorously.

- Pour into the glass and then drizzle some caramel syrup on top of the cocktail and on the rim.

- Garnish with a cookie.

Cheers!
